inspiration: kelvedon hatch nuclear bunker

I went to Kelvedon Hatch for a night of experimental electronica from the delaware road, and found some garden inspiration in the lighting of the DJ/ projection balcony and the surrounding mature woodland.

Ian Helliwell and DJ Food     it rained while we were inside

Smoke machines are of course now just another cheap electronic consumable, so a set of all-weather fairy lights and a dangerously cheap laser projector is all you need for that rave-in-a-fogbank/x-files the-truth-is-right-here-behind-you ambience. Leave the weeds and leaves for that abandoned look.

outside the bunker

Concrete retaining walls, green accent lighting and decorative garden missiles. Sinister woodland backdrop (borrowed landscape). Bonus hipster eating a sandwich could be achieved by modding a garden gnome. Source some suitable warning signs. Encourage moss.

smoke and lights touches of terrifying whimsy

Nettles, dead things and whimsical signage can turn an old out-back bomb shelter into something altogether more now. Think of it as a 21st Century grotto. Don't forget to duck and cover.
